Recently, The Atlantic published an article Are iPads a Solution to Snow Days?, outlining a program in a Minnesota school for supplementing curriculum during weather closings. While there are certainly drawbacks to this type of program, I believe that it only mirrors expectations which are emerging in the business world. Many people in the workforce are already able to work remotely when situations require, and I can only imagine this number increasing.

Beyond the immediate concerns about continuity of instruction, this may be helping students prepare for expectations of remote work after graduation.
